Why?

“Do you really want a solution or is the constant refrain ‘why’ a way of escaping the responsibility of the answer?”

When we cry out “Why?” in the midst of the unthinkable violence of our time, our predicament, I believe, is the same. There are some clues we already have--enough to bring correctives within our reach. But do we really want the truth?
